The following sentence is given as an example in a dictionary explanation for "le lendemain".
"Il a été décrété que le lendemain serait un jour férié".
Is this sentence grammatically incorrect because it uses the conjugated verb serait after le lendemain?
This is a sample sentence from this lesson:
J'ai de plus en plus de mal à me concentrer.
I understand the more and more part. As a student, without the translation, I would not have come up with I'm struggling more and more to focus. I was seeing this as ... I have (more and more) pain myself to concentrate. Is there a lesson on avoir mal a that talks about struggling? If so J'ai de plus en plus de mal avec cette example! :)
Why is the Imparfait used here instead of the Passe Compose?
Cyril m'a dit que ton SMS disait dix-neuf heures ...
Is there a way to target a specific language point? For example, if I look at an explanation of a particular point, then 'notebook' it, sometimes there is a mini kwiz below, but is it possible to get more practice on one particular topic?
Why are certain words (like five billion) written in plural while other words (like two thousand) are written in singular?
To all those who are confused about why 10 mins etc. is correct and 10 minutes is wrong, please ignore the given explanations as they make no sense whatsoever. They are both correct!
pourquoi pas Tu as tenu ton parole au lieu de Tu as tenu parole
turc --> turque (pas le "c")
grec --> grecque (avec le "c")
pourquoi ??
The lesson gives the example "Elle me rappelle de Paula" to illustrate that it is not correct to use "de" in sentences like this. But I just encountered a quiz question about the imperfect with reflexive verbs in which the correct answer was "Tu te rappelais de moi." Why is "de moi" correct, but "de Paula" is not?
